TL;DR Summary: "You have to let us merge into a much bigger company because Comcast is a much bigger company so we can't compete against them."
Because, of course, the bigger the FTC and FCC let media companies get, the more they'll be able to compete so that they can serve their customers better. That's the way it always works, right?

Lower prices……Ha! It might happen and last for a year. Then the greed will take over and the bill will go back up again, probably faster.
From what I read, it was lower prices on bundles (the Platinum Sports HD Package will be only $80 a month vs $90 a month), but that individual items (that PPV moview, for example) might be more expensive.
